Plenty of blame to go around. Putin is a punk ass dictator. OK. Who made us the world cop? The MIC has pushed hard since IKE. We are the planet’s largest arms dealer.

Huge sums of money regularly pour into MIC’s coffers from its blood-drenched factories.

War is a Racket……..don’t play, because everyone pays but the morbidly rich.
